WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
FRESH PRODUCE will teach filmmakers
to WRITE FOR BUDGET. This means that YOU will learn to avoid writing certain locations, situations, or novelties into the
original screenplay so as to make the resultant film more practical for a zero budget. Finding creative solutions to the money
problem is constant in zero budget filmmaking, but we can limit those problems by writing a reasonable project.
FRESH
PRODUCE will teach the filmmaker to CREW UP. You can find the people, equipment and resources to make your film production
a reality despite your current experience level, social adeptness, or monetary limitations. FRESH PRODUCE can help.
FRESH PRODUCE will teach the filmmaker the fundamentals of the audition process. Where do you find
your talent? Where is an appropriate place to audition for FREE? What questions should you ask? Which questions should you
be prepared to answer? What are you looking for? Is it just about talent?
FRESH PRODUCE
will teach you the terms and titles of film production. We will discuss the fundamentals of equipment (i.e. cameras, lenses)
and offer practical information as to what equipment to use, where you can find it, and what you would pay to rent or buy
it, if you cannot negotiate it for “$0”.
FRESH PRODUCE will teach new filmmakers
to monetize the craft of film making in small ways, but in the same ways that studios have done for years. A
$245 film may make $625, as opposed to a $150 million film that makes $245 million.
FRESH
PRODUCE will touch briefly on common FUNDRAISING strategies, including the use of online tools such as MyProducer and Kickstarter,
in the event that you have a few inescapable costs that you cannot or choose not to “write around”.
FRESH
PRODUCE will offer a brief REVIEW OF STANDARD AGREEMENTS/FORMS. We will talk about the use of releases, liability waivers,
deferred compensation agreements, Non-Disclosure agreements, etc. Should my film be an LLC? How do I submit for IMDB credit
on my production?
FRESH PRODUCE will also touch on HELPFUL ORGANIZATIONS
and FREE online tools. This segment will be accompanied by a FREE list of film resources online, from Form PA for copyrighting
to the groups and organizations that can help you cast and crew your projects for FREE.
